Chocolate & Peanut Dipped Cherries
This is hardly a recipe. It’s a fridge full of fresh summer fruit and a sweet tooth after work. It’s something to pop in your mouth while you’re making dinner and are too hungry to wait for it to be ready. It’s a little bit of sweet with a little bit of antioxidant. 4 ingredients to enjoy on a deck, porch or patio, savouring the simplicity of the season.
You can easily adapt this recipe based on how many cherries you’d like to make (I did 10)
Ingredients:
10 ripe cherries
1/4 cup chocolate, or chocolate chips
About 3 tbsp peanuts (raw or roasted)
Sea salt
- Wash however many cherries you’re using
2. Place the chocolate in a small bowl and heat – on the stove or in the microwave – until melted, stirring often 
4. Chop the peanuts as finely as you can. The smaller they are, the more easily they will stick to the chocolate.
5. Line a plate with parchment paper and assemble all ingredients. Dip each cherry into the chocolate, roll in the chopped peanuts, sprinkle with salt and place on the plate.
6. Let them set in the fridge and enjoy!
